Bird Stone in Thieves Wood

This stone is a replacement of the original Bird Stone which read "This stone was placed here by J Whitaker of Rainworth Lodge, to mark the spot where the first British specimen of an Egyptian nightjar was spotted by A Spinks on 23 June 1883. It is only the second occurrence of the bird in Europe."
